Today was going to be quick for two reasons: I got a haircut, and it rained this afternoon, making tonight's evening pleasantly cool and slightly breezy behind the parapets of Camp Cupcake. I wasn't sure how I was going to feel, but after a fast first lap, I ran a positive split, then ran generally faster as I got through. Today was an exercise to see how deep I could push my max VO2, rather than just running for base or lard burning. Today was a pretty good day - one after which I need to be careful so I don't squander the gains of the day.

My attack of the Smiths continues unabated.
